A site designed to assist people in creating video/audio comments to other webpages. Anyone who blogs would see the importance of an actual video or audio comment.

Savevid.com works well with YouTube and several other sites that I have downloaded video from. I found that the video can be downloaded as an mp4, mp3, a flv, HD or computer, IPod, burn DVD's and more. Downloading, burning or embedding video into PowerPoints or SmartBoard lessons has become something I do on a regular basis and more reliable than hyperlinks.

Wow Sandee, thanks for that one! I always get stumped and have to flail around when deciding where to begin with video.

:)

This is the best resource ever! There are so many great videos, slidshows, songs! This site has it all and the material is wonderful to show in the classroom. The site is free and you can add your own material if you wish to share it. There are some really creative teachers out there! This will be a place you can spend hours upon hours exploring.

This site is similar to YouTube only it features videos, audios, etc. that relate more to education. This site allows you to find videos to use in your curriculum and your classroom to help students understand the material. Anyone can pick from the videos already available or you can upload your own material. Also, teacher tube has an educational blog that you can access and add to.

It's like a YouTube for educators. It has lots of fun videos.

I was introduced to this site in another class I have taken through PSU and find it to be really powerful. TED stands for Technology Entertainment Design. This site goes beyond technologies for the classroom, and discusses real life technologies…some our students might be using in the future. This site contains a number of videos. The videos discuss a variety of topics, more than just technology. Two such videos that would be really thought provoking and/or great conversation pieces for a professional development day are found at the following links: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/taylor_mali_what_teachers_make.html http://www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

A VoiceThread is a tool for having conversation around media. A powerful new way to talk about and share your images, documents, and videos. Viewers can leave comments via voice, text, audio file, or video. Imagine, an entire group discussion on ONE page; digital storytelling made simple! It is free and has an education side to it with a secure network for K-12 students and teachers to collaborate and share ideas with ANYWHERE in the world!

This site gives us a quick overview of what web 2.0 is doing and where it is taking us with technology. It is a video that shows us how far we have come since 1996 working with HTML and now working so much with digital.

This site is sponsored by SMART Technologies who produce the SMART Board. The site offers a variety of videos featuring SMART Board lessons and tutorials and you can even post your own videos to the site.

You Tube contains many great videos that can be incorporated into your classroom lessons. No longer have to worry that You Tube is blocked at school. You can now convert those favorite videos into a file that you can take to school and show your students.

YouTube downloader! Thanks!

I've been trying to remember what this site was since it was mentioned last semester. Thank you for saving me some time in searching and sifting through past information!

Just like YouTube, but educationally based! Great resource for teachers and students to use!

Discovery Education aka United Streaming is a widely used source for videos on just about any topic you might need in your classroom. I really can't imagine teaching without such easy to use resources at my fingertips.

Our school district has this and I love it! I wish there was more for high school and college students, but it is still great! What I don't find in the way of video here, I get from youtube.

Designed primarily for Jr-Sr High students, the INCREDIBLE video clips offer a superb look at science theories as applied to the the Winter Olympic sports. The accompanying worksheets and quizzes are too advanced for younger students, however the videos are very interesting for students as young as 3rd grade.

I saw this and thought I was such a great idea!

This is a great blog with tons of resources for teachers! I love the must watch educational videos section, as well as the "cool links" area of the site. Everyone should check this out!

This is a professional development site for educators and librarians. There are video collections, technology tools, higher education learning and lots of great development resources. There are 4 main areas: Technology and Learning, Internet Resources, Libraries and Literacy and Technology Tools.

eSchool News is a website that shares technology news with educators.

A technology news website. Provides resources, videos, and webinars on technology in education. Current topics that I found interesting are: "Ten tips for using social media in communications" and "Empowering education with video".

This is a website that uploads Powerpoints. It uploads the powerpoint and then will change it to mov and upload to YouTube. You may download video from YouTube and place it in your PowerPoints from this site. The instructions are easy to follow. However, you will need to refresh your page after about 10 minutes after uploading. The site sends you an email when the ppt is uploaded. This site takes a while to perform the task, but the quality is very good. I have been happy with the site. You can also Tweet from this site. Greating cards and setting up your own channel are also options.

Educational videos collected from all sorts of other sites like YouTube. Easy to find the subject you are looking for.

This site is devoted to literacy education. Their goal is to reach children to share the love of reading and writing. The site includes seminars, webinars, video conferences, blogs, and podcasts. This site would be helpful to any teacher devoted to teaching reading and writing.

This is just the first step in making education and technology more engaging for educators and students! Glogster is also a perfect web 2.0 tool for your learning and your WIKIs. Glogster provides master-accounts for teachers integrating all student accounts, which are kept private! Mix graphics, photos, videos, music and text into slick Glogs.

This is a professional networking site where educators can learn about what is happening in technology in the classroom by following the latest news in Ed Tech, sharing content such as favorite webpages, lessons, video, audio, and written content. Visitors are encouraged to join in and add content.

A great resource for personal learning. I enjoyed listening to several podcasts.

This website provides short videos of 'teachers-in-action'. My personal favorite is China through Mapping, as you follow an Early Childhood Teacher through the steps of a class-created GIANT map, all while learning about China. \nThe entire site is filled with great videos that 'teach teachers' about great classroom ideas!

K-12 resources in arts, foreign languages, literature, language arts, math, science, and social studies. These resources can be accessed for FREE at Learner.org or can be purchased through the website.

Has lots of great resources across the curriculum both for teachers an for students, the vast majority can be view VoD directly from the website.
